Carlie completed a double degree during her undergraduate years at the University of Oklahoma, covering the major aspects of communications at that time. Both degrees also delved into the then relatively new public Internet, whetting her appetite for the subject.
My speciality area is environmental planning. My thesis examined the droughts and wildfires in Oklahoma during 1996, 1997 and 1998, and the mitigation responses.
I author both web copy and blogs for construction clients. This includes general contractors, union groups and tradespeople, including plumbers, electricians, carpenters, floor layers, tilers, masons, architects and landscape architects.
